In The Caucasian Chalk Circle, Bertolt
Brecht's twist on a classic Chinese fable, the audience is confronted with a
satiric comedy of justice, war, and love. The death of the governor of a
fictional town in the Caucasus sets the plot rolling as Grusha, the kitchen
maid, escapes with the abandoned child, heir of the governor. The play follows
the story of Grusha as she sacrifices everything to raise the child. A sub-plot
follows Azdak, a wise fool who becomes a judge. When the child's mother, the
late governor's wife, comes before Azdak to claim her right to the child, he is
faced with a Solomon-like predicament.
